Dude, Kanye West is pure trash, there is good rap out there, but he just can't do it well at all, I'm sorry to burst your bubble.

Kanye bores me to TEARS.

Oh wow I forgot, that's a great reason to hate someone.

I suddenly hate Collateral. Not because of anything to do with the movie, but because of Tom Cruise's stance on psychiatry.

Tard.

He is fine, he is not great but he is not "pure trash" either.

What rap do you listen to?

I don't see how that's such a great reason to hate someone if Pinkfreud's isn't good enough.

[quote=the sun times]"I know the government administers AIDS," West raps in "Heard 'Em Say," and in several interviews he has repeated the conspiracy theory that white men "planted" AIDS in Africa. The notion is scientifically unfounded, and gay activists criticize it for fueling confusion about an already misunderstood disease. But West is unapologetic.

"I wrote ('Heard 'Em Say') in like 20 minutes, so what was coming out of me was everything that was taught to me by my parents. It just flows out of me, just like if someone on the street is rapping. But I really do believe that. I believe that's it's connected to the diamonds thing, too: Africa has all these resources, so just like (white settlers) sent smallpox to the Indians, they sent AIDS to Africa. That's just one of those things I believe, and I also believe that Jesus died for our sins. There's no point in throwing out facts that I can prove."

To West's credit, he knows this defense is a weak one, and he vows to dig deeper as he finds himself in the position of a role model ("and I hate to use that word"). "I found out when I dropped 'Jesus Walks' and 'All Falls Down' that it was like, 'Whoa, I've been anointed. People are listening to me.' So I want to surround myself with people who have taken the time to study these things, and people who know what they are talking about, instead of just spouting nonsense."[/quote]

and i'm not white and i dance to plenty. i like lots of rap. i just think he's so awful.

illmatic: i hate his music too. i think his rhymes are lame and i'm actually not a huge fan of his producing.

rap i listen to: wu tang clan, jurassic 5, del tha funky homosapien, n.w.a., jay z, notorious big, nas, mos def, mf doom, just to give you some examples.

Your last name is Routh!! haha, I couldn't find you, though. :(

I had no idea people took him seriously.

I like Kanye. I read today that he is addicted to [COLOR="silver"]p[/COLOR]orn.

Such animosity in this thread all of a sudden, over such a minor (in the scheme of things) rapper. Ay yi yi.

[QUOTE]addicted to p[size=2]o[/size]rn.[/QUOTE]

Don't laugh. It's the easiest thing to become addicted to ever. Easier than chocolate, sex, coffee, crack, morphine, whatever. Ever.

In a way I'm not kidding. P[size=2]orn[/size] is dangerous. I look at it much less than I was for a while...it was affecting my ability to be sufficiently intimate with my gf.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]he is very boring, but he is at least a step above Aesop Rock.[/QUOTE]

Aesop Rock is lyrically flawless, but he is almost totally unlistenable. Immortal Technique ftw.

He is fine, he is not great but he is not "pure trash" either.

What rap do you listen to?[/QUOTE]

My main reason for disliking Kanye is that he just kinda sounds forced when he's rapping... like he's thinking for a split second before he says his lines... it sounds kinda sloppy... plus I hate his lyrics.

K-os, The Roots, Jurassic 5, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, MC Chris, Cannibal Ox, Optimus Rhyme, etc.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Lyrically flawless? You're serious?[/QUOTE]
Well, I've only heard a few songs, but I thought the lyrics were really well done...I cant stand him musically. I'll go read more of his lyrics and probably regret saying that.

"lyrically flawless" is essentially non-existant. It honestly doesn't make sense. Perhaps a great lyricist would work better.

I actually don't listen to much rap, I listen to a lot of old Tupac that maintains a poetic sence. I love Bone thugs 'n' Harmoney just because of how well they harmonize. But I can really respect any artist.

You definitely will.

No one ever said he was a good MC, no one who knew what they were talking about at any rate.

Yeah, I respect your tastes though man, you listen to some good stuff... I mean, just your name alone is in good taste, Nas = :cool:

[quote]No one ever said he was a good MC, no one who knew what they were talking about at any rate.[/QUOTE]

Regardless, I was just stating my reasons for not liking him.

EDIT:

To Ray:
What did you mean when you said, "I kinda expected a list like that"?

Was it because I had mentioned those groups before or because it's just the generic types of rap groups a metalhead would listen to?

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Hey 'Pike, guess who loves you?

I dunno, it just seems like a lot of white rap fans I know seem to like the "underground" stuff that I (and a lot of black people) don't like...it's a cultural thing.

I don't want to sound too harsh to any of you, I just got some really bad news today and maybe I had been taking it out on some of you.

[QUOTE=SilentScream7]Eggo - Where can I find you? (if you aren't annoyed yet)[/QUOTE]

What do you mean?

I don't know much about Kanye West, and I've only heard a bit of his music, but he sounds either a) racist or b) fueled by money.
